Eight days. Do you know what that means? Barely over a week. Tomorrow will be one week from the announcement date. Are you excited? I am. So, today, I want to talk to those who wrote something for the contest, whether or not you entered it in the end. What made you start writing your story? What was the first inkling of an idea that tickled your brain? What was it that you liked about your premise? As you wrote, did you have a favorite character or a favorite scene? And are you glad you wrote it down? Do you feel like you learned and grew in your ability as a writer as you tried out things for this contest? And, if your story isn't included in this year's Rooglewood anthology (either because you didn't submit it or because it didn't fit with the other four stories selected), what will you do with it? Will you market it elsewhere? Or will you lock it away in a drawer?
Contemporary would be neat, just because it hasn't been done in one of the collections yet. (I think?) I like the idea of Victorian as well! Or perhaps something closer to Bible times, BC or early AD...
ReplyDeleteOoh, those are fabulous!
DeleteWow. All of those sound so awesome. :D I'd be happy with any of those, really. (Revolutionary War sounds especially intriguing though).
ReplyDeleteI did have an idea for a Snow White retelling set in modern day... but with a Renaissance princess. My contest entry was set exactly 300 years in the future.
Squeal! I love the Renaissance princess in modern day!!!
DeleteVictorian is a favorite of mine, modern would be cool, and I am a sucker for the 1920's but I feel that biased because mine is set in the 1920's
ReplyDeleteYes! Can't wait to see if any of these settings end up in the winning circle!
